If you haven't yet you need to " upgrade " to Yahoo Mail Plus @ $19.99 to be
able to :

a.. download your Yahoo! Mail in an email client, such as Outlook
b.. forward your Yahoo! Mail to a different address

This is from Yahoo mail site.

If you do have the upgrade then read here for more info:

As Mark's response indicates, the free US-based Yahoo accounts don't
get POP access, only web access via a browser.
